CHAPTER 36: BURDEN
Last Updated:
2021-09-21 01:13:16“That killer officially pissed me off.” The demon is obviously furious. Chris could see the black smoke that used to surround Damien back when Chris couldn’t see his true form. He distanced himself from the demon as he was feeling the familiar suffocating sensation whenever Damien just fed. The demon continued rambling while following Chris. Would Damien come with him in the classroom?
Chris sighed as he walked towards his classroom. He was scolded for entering the elementary building when it wasn’t allowed for cutting classes. It’s the first time, so the teachers are visibly worried about him. His teachers are noticing that he’s been usually spacing out in classes lately. They must be thinking that he was acting up because of what happened in his life. They aren’t wrong, but for a different reason. Chris was asked several times, but he dodged their questions and simply apologized for his actions. He even has to go to detention later.

Chris still wanted to bury himself because of embarrassment, day already passed and he’s still blushing from the mere thought of him crying in front of Kurt. What more is that he instantly broke when Kurt yelled at him. Chris literally buried his face to his pillow.“I’m such an idiot.” He mumbled to himself. He knows that he didn’t cry because Kurt yelled at him, but because of how much effort it took for him not to confide everything to Kurt. He hates how weak he gets whenever he’s with Kurt.“Are you planning to die in there?” He heard Damien’s voice. Chris’ head is still buried in his pillow.“Wait!” Chris suddenly lifted his head. Damien’s attention went back to the human. Chris immediately took his phone from being charged and checked the calendar.“What is it?” Damien curiously asked. Chris sighed and buried his head on the pillow once again. He heard the demo

He feels like falling, no, he is really falling.Chris extended his hand, trying to grab anything to save himself but all he could grasp is darkness. He anticipated death but he felt his back hit something soft instead. He opened his eyes, quickly got up and scanned the place. He is currently sitting on a king sized bed, in a room painted red and black.Sounds of laughter echoed the room, like two people are having the time of their lives. Chris tried searching for the source of the voice but failed, and also realized that the room has no doors or any way out.Panic started hitting his system, “Who is that?” He asked but the voices continued laughing and this time, more people are laughing until it is incomprehensible.It was simply maddening.The voices started to get louder every passing second. Chris tried getting out of the bed but a pair of arms emerged from the bed and grabbed him by the neck. He is pinned back to the bed

Two days have passed. Chris is already bothered because he can't contact both his parents. He’s been trying to message them but he got no response after his mother said that they have an emergency meeting so they will come home late. It’s not the first time that it happened, but he’s feeling odd this time. He has to make sure that they are okay.“You look so scared. They always do this, aren’t you used to it yet?” The demon taunted him like it always does but there’s something about the demon’s tone today that worries Chris more. He didn’t stop dialing his mother’s number but all he receives are system generated response.He sighed and sat back on his bed after getting tired of pacing back and forth.“Maybe they are in an important meeting? But they usually call or text when they can’t go home…” Chris immediately picked up his phone after he heard a message notification

‘So this is how it feels…’Random thoughts kept lingering on Chris’ mind, as if someone else is controlling it. He sees several memories, some happy, and most are the saddest moments of his life. He closed his eyes. He could almost feel every moment again, like it is currently happening.Chris is being embraced by the demon or at least, that’s how Chris perceives it. He was being enveloped by the demon’s darkness. He doesn’t feel any physical pain, only the utter silence and coldness which he unusually feels refuge. He thinks it was ridiculous, he really thought that the demon would bite him or anything similar to feed on him.His mind starts to wander, he wanted to see them more. Even though he is well aware that it was all in the past. He simply wanted to see them again; alive and smiling at each other like all other “head-over-heels to each other” couples. He missed it, how long has it been since

“I’ll kill them.” Chris muttered, purely out of blind anger. He checked the documents once again. He couldn’t grasp the entirety of his parents’ work but he is certain that they are killed because of it.“Heh, you should see them first before you do that.” Damien materialized beside him and handed over his phone, “Someone called you earlier when you are all frantic searching for the truth. The man over the phone told me that he's a close friend of your parents, from the company they are working from.” The demon grinned after seeing Chris’ reaction. There is obvious distrust in his eyes, he now sees everyone as an adversary.“You talked to them? What did you tell them about you?” Chris had to ask, he simply can’t explain Damien’s existence to people.The demon rolled his eyes, “I told them the simplest lie, that I’m your friend. What, do you really think I would go aro

“Could demons get drunk too?” Joaqin asked out of the blue. He turned to Linus who’s busy checking the fridge for food. Linus momentarily stopped his snack search and looked at Joaqin with questioning eyes. They have been together for a while but the demon never saw Joaqin drink.Joaqin stared at him while waiting for Linus’ answer, “we don’t.” Linus answered with an arrogant grin, “why? Are you asking me to drink with you?”Joaqin nodded, “Yeah. It’s exactly what I’m implying.” Joaqin could see Linus’ surprised reaction. He chuckled, is it so unusual that he’s inviting a demon to drink with him?Linus eventually laughed, “You’re challenging the wrong demon.” Joaqin stood and took out bottles of liquor he’s stocking. He brought four bottles and placed it on the table. He then took out two glasses. The demon shrugged and took out some food and sat bes

“Are you going to school today?” That’s the context of the messages he got when he checked his phone. The messages are from Kurt and Leila. Chris checked the time before he replied. He woke up earlier than his alarm again.He replied the same thing to them. He’s still going to school, he has to. Chris thinks that it’s better to be surrounded by people, instead of moping around the house the whole day. He needed to stay sane until he was able to serve his revenge. Hell he cares what happens after.Leila is the first one to reply saying that Eugene would pick him up. He sighed and simply replied thank you. Kurt’s reply came right after he replied to Leila. Chris scratched his head after reading Kurt’s long message. Kurt is reminding him to eat and drink his meds before he goes to school and even linked a recipe for a healthy breakfast.He did his morning routine while actually considering the recipe Kurt had sent.
Succumbing into Darkness CHAPTER 33: LOVE LETTERS
Chris woke up with a heavy head. It’s been a week but his body still hasn’t recovered from what happened. He kept thinking of the memories he saw from Troy’s mind. He wrote it the other day while pretending to study. He continued repeating it on his mind too. Chris is convinced that there must be something in those memories that could lead him to the truth, if only he’s strong enough to last longer.“You’re still thinking about that?” Damien appeared beside him. He’s sitting on the edge of the bed and there are a lot of spaces but the demon chose to squeeze him in. Chris sighed but stayed still, he already knew what Damien wanted to do. The demon started feeding on him, just like what he expected.He simply closed his eyes. It’s been physically draining him more than in the past.“It’s getting tiring…” Chris thought. He knows that the demon could also hear his thoughts.
Succumbing into Darkness CHAPTER 32: ORIGIN OF RESENTMENT
Damien materialized elsewhere after cutting Chris’ little trip in Troy’s memories. He didn’t even expect Chris to last that long. Humans aren’t supposed to do it for long because it will drain their energy but Chris lasted with sheer willpower. It didn’t only drained Chris but also him. Angels could easily do it but they are advised to only use it during emergency situations. It is a labor for an exiled like him.He could’ve fed from Chris but he might kill his host if he did, he would, but not until their contract is fulfilled. He walked around to find someone to feed on, but he saw Xavier instead.The angel looked at him with the usual disgusted look.“I’m not in the mood to deal with you today so out of my way.” Damien spoke first. He’s not in the perfect condition to piss off an angel. Xavier didn’t budge and continued blocking the demon’s path.“Why? Scared that I will kill
